unshod horse and hoof boots

jimmyLane1 @jimmyLane1 (72) 18 Oct 10

Hello I have a horse that has had to have his shoes taken off. I've been looking to into getting him some hoof boots like boa. Can anyone make any recommendations to which is the best

hoof boots

2 responses

carbm65 I have never used hoof boots and do not know enough about them to make a recommendation. What I do know from experience from other horse riders that leaving them natural is the best. Good hoof care goes a long way beyond a good boot or shoes.

Do you read different books in winter?

hvedra @hvedra (1619) 19 Oct 10

I think because the nights are longer and I can't do stuff outside I tend to read more so I'll pick up more books in the winter and longer, heavier reading material. Do you find that your reading material changes with the...

carbm65 What I read does not change but the amount of time I read most definitely changes during the winter. I still read the same types of books. In fact when I have made specific attempts to find different material to read I gravitate back to the same material.

What is your view about 'gossippy' people?

takie23 @takie23 (142) 18 Oct 10

Do you like being in their midst or totally want to stay away?

2 responses

carbm65 Gossippy people make me want to totally stay away from them. These people tend to be self-absorbed, looking for attention. Gossip only causes people to get angry, hurt, and resentful.
